Technical details

A stored XSS flaw in ERPNext fails to escape record names when rendering them in web pages, allowing injection of arbitrary HTML and JavaScript. Attackers with write access to item master data can craft malicious script in record names that persists and executes in any operator's browser context when the page is viewed. The attack requires low privileges (write access), network availability, and user interaction (victim visiting the page), with impact limited to the session scope.
